Lol no, that's staging for the photo. The cord is probably wound up with a wire tie under the controller itself.

NASCAR has become a soap opera. The only reason to pay attention is because of all the crazy bullshit that happens.

Really? Ugh and I love hearts of palm. Now I'm never going to be able to think of it without associating the word 'swamp cabbage' and crazy rednecks with it ever again.

I guess that's what happens when you drive... [removes sunglasses] ... a Dodge.

You're right! I stand corrected... always thought Pininfarina did the NSX.

That van is basically the entire concept of 'criminal mischief' personified.

Every generation of Mercedes S-Class.

Well, it was designed by Pininfarina.

The statement 'drastically improving outlook on the US economy' alone destroys your credibility.

They really reinforce the windshield pillars and I'd be shocked if it didn't have a pop-up rollover bar system like the other high-end convertibles do. Those things work pretty well from what I understand.

Um, you're assuming that a gas tax is the only way to boost prices. It's not. It's the most obvious and politically dangerous one though, and that's why Obama said he was against it. Taxes also need to be approved by congress, and can be repealed accordingly, and therefore less than ideal to Obama as well.

"Somehow we have to figure out how to boost the price of gasoline to the levels in Europe"

Sorry, but he was right then, and he's still right now.

Ten years ago who would have believed that Cadillac would be manufacturing a world-beating 190mph performance sedan, and actually selling them hand over fist also?

Ha! That road is great... the NY/NJ Lotus owners club does 'spirited drives' on there pretty frequently.

I'll take anything... literally anything... that will knock the FF out of the 'flagship' position in the Ferrari lineup. That design abortion should never have been there in the first place.

Exactly. And you can bet there are a couple of engineers at Tesla who advocated for a more direct (and accurate) warning, but were overruled by sales and marketing executives worried about damaging the brand perception of Tesla.

A lever? No no no. Tesla owners do not operate 'levers'. If it cannot be accomplished with a mouse click or via an iPhone app, they want nothing to do with it. Better to spend forty grand than to subject oneself to such pedestrian acts.

Nope, don't like it. The direct head-on view is good, but literally every other angle is bad. And I say this as a great admirer of the SL in general. This is a swing and a miss.

But aren't these things limited to like 70mph or something really stupid like that with the top in place? Or am I thinking of something else?
